JHU General Thread

<p>Thank you so much Javis - you have been incredibly helpful. :) I was really interested in the answers to those neuroscience questions too.</p>

<p>Has anyone ever had a Hopkins Alumni Interview? I have a few questions about the interview:
1. What are they looking for?
2. What questions will they ask?
3. What questions should I ask, if any?
4. How should I dress?</p>

<p>My interview is this Saturday! Please respond! Thanks</p>
